Two in a row


A short session on the river, on the bank for just after 21:00 and off by 01:00. Similar tactics to last session, both margin and far bank cover lightly baited with boilie and soaked pellet. A 30 minute cast in one area then a cast to the other if no interest. 15 mins after the second cast in the margin the rod flew round. 

2 in a row, good going on this river


A 6lb’er was soon landed, nothing huge but any barbel is a result on this water. An hour or so later, the rod went round, again from the near bank margin.

A 4lb chub this time

I didn’t get near a barbel from this river last session so I’m very pleased with two this early in the season. Hopefully I’ll be out one night after work for a short session.

    Doing well Darren, do you think there could be more there than you initially thought? or is this definitely very unusual?

    Cheers James, I think they are holding up close to their spawning grounds due to the low water conditions and I’ve landed on them!

    Before the last 2 sessions I’d had 2 barbel in 15 sessions (spread over a couple of seasons in varying conditions)

    Last season on a long club stretch upstream of where I’m currently fishing, only 1 barbel was reported all season.

    Great start continuing Darren. The rivers are so low at the moment, nice to have found the fish.
